Technical Abstract

The disclosure provides a substrate construction applicable to a 3D package, including a silicon substrate for carrying a chip on an upper side thereof, and a circuit structure formed underneath the silicon substrate for being connected to solder balls via conductive pads of the circuit structure, thereby obtaining the same specification of the conductive pads as ball-planting pads of conventional package substrates and avoiding the manufacturing and use of conventional package substrates.
